Study on influence of flow rates on voids in waxy crude oil subjected to dynamic and static cooling

The assumption of constant yield stress in the conventional restart pressure equation neglects the effects of thermal shrinkage and gas voids formation, which in turn resulted in an over-designed production piping systems. This paper presents a study on the effects of flow rates on the formation of...
